The Everly Brothers
Don't Ask Me to be Friends (1962)


A               D
After all we've been
A        E
To one another
A            D
How can we become
A               F#m E
Like sister and brother

F#m E    D A
Darling, I beg of you
C#7              F#m    E D 
If our love must end
             A
Ask me to forget you
    E                            A       D   E 
But don't ask me to be friends


A               D
After bein' the one
A             E
That you took pride in
A               D
I just couldn't be
A                 F#m  E
The friend you confide in

F#m E   D   A
If it's goodbye for us
C#7               F#m     E D 
We'll never meet again
             A
Ask me to forget you
    E                            A       D   A
But don't ask me to be friends


{bridge}
D              C#m
Wanting you so badly
Bm               A
Needing you like this
D              C#m
How can I just look at
    F#m       B         Bm    E
The lips that I used to kiss


A                  D
If there's someone else
A            E
Don't let me see him
A                   D
Cause I'll spend my life
A               F#m E
Wishing I could be him


F#m E    D A
Darling, I beg of you
C#7              F#m    E D 
If our love must end
             A
Ask me to forget you
    E                            A       D   A
But don't ask me to be friends
